Alleged crime leader Ridouan Taghi filed an appeal against the court ruling issued two weeks ago finding him guilty of ordering five murders, two attempted killings, and running a criminal organization. The District Court of Amsterdam sentenced Taghi to life in prison on February 27 in the sprawling six year Marengo procedure, the randomly assigned name given to the case.
The Public Prosecution Service is pleased that all 17 suspects in the extensive Marengo trial have been convicted. Alleged organized crime leader Ridouan Taghi was convicted and sentenced to life in prison along with his co-defendants, Saïd R. and Mario R., for charges brought against them in a long-running case involving six assassinations, four attempted killings, and plans to murder several others.
